Chapter 216
After these ants got on the leaves, they actually knew how to stretch out their hind legs and slide in the water, although their legs were very slow, but the leaves were drifting towards the opposite shore after all, according to this situation, the ants would sooner or later attack the island.
"What should we do?"
That's all the heart, seeing the ant army rowing towards the island from all directions, they can't do anything about it.
If they had some twigs or something like that, they could stir up the pool and knock the ants into the water, but the island in the middle of the pool was bare, and there was not even a stone, let alone a branch.
Lei Tianrui turned his head to look at Dong Sihai and shouted, "Aren't you a jungle expert?
"I ...... I can't help it. Dong Sihai said with a desperate face.
Hu Xiaoxian said: "Haodong has long reminded you that you can't camp here, but you just said it's okay, now it's okay, we all have to die here." ”
Thinking of the scene where the ants devoured the beast just now, everyone couldn't help but feel numb, and they all got goosebumps, as people from the special department, they had long thought about dying, but no one could accept dying in this way.
At this moment, Qin Haodong said: "I have good news to tell you. ”
"What good news?" Hearing his words, hope was rekindled in everyone's eyes, and even Lei Tianrui and Zhao Qiankun, who had always been hostile to him, had their faces full of longing.
Although death was close at hand, Qin Haodong was able to magically subdue the man-eating vine, and maybe there was a way to deal with these ants.
Qin Haodong said: "I have just understood that these ants are not marching ants in South America. ”
Dong Sihai was deflated for a while and said, "I have already seen this, but what's the use." ”
Qin Haodong ignored him, and said to himself: "These ants have a name, they are called Hell Soul Eaters. Because they appear so suddenly that no one knows where they come from, they are said to come from hell.
At the same time, these ants are extremely greedy, able to devour steel, and legend has it that they can even eat the soul of a person after death, so they are called Hell Soul Eaters. ”
The things he said came entirely from the cultivation realm, and the Hell Soul Eater Ant was a terrifying creature in the cultivation realm, and even cultivators had to retreat when they encountered it.
At first, Qin Haodong didn't think of this, and thought that these were just ordinary South American marching ants, but when he saw that these ants had even eaten the Humvee, he thought of this terrifying creature, and after careful observation, he was sure that this was the Hell Soul Eater Ant in the cultivation realm, but he couldn't understand how it could appear on the earth.
Wang Yuancheng said with a pale face: "You mean to say that our souls will be eaten by ants after death, and we don't even have the opportunity to be reincarnated, which is also good news?"
"This is indeed good news. Qin Haodong said, "If it's a South American marching ant, there's nothing you can do, but the Hell Soul Eater Ant I know their weakness." ”
"What? What weaknesses do they have, hurry up. Lei Tianrui and the others all looked at Qin Haodong pitifully.
Hu Xiaoxian also said: "Yes, Haodong, these things are already halfway over, hurry up and say what weaknesses they have, otherwise it will really be too late." ”
Qin Haodong said lightly: "Naturally, all things are mutually reinforcing, every creature has something to restrain it, and the Hell Soul Eater Ant is no exception, what they are most afraid of is a plant called Huangquan Grass. As long as there is a leaf of yellow spring grass on its body, the soul eater ant will never dare to approach. ”
"What's the use of that, you say? We haven't even seen what Yellow Spring Grass is, where can we find it?"
"Isn't this nonsense, there isn't even a blade of grass on this little island that is bare, let alone any yellow spring grass. ”
Just when Zhao Qiankun and the others complained, a small yellow leaf appeared in Qin Haodong's palm, and he said happily: "Coincidentally, I just have Huangquan grass here." ”
These yellow spring grasses were encountered by chance when he was collecting medicine, and at that time he didn't expect to meet such a terrifying creature as the Hell Soul Eater Ant, but the space of the storage ring was large enough, so he picked some casually and threw them in, but he didn't expect that now it has become a good thing that can save lives.
"Take it, don't lose it. ”
Qin Haodong gave the leaf in his hand to Hu Xiaoxian, and took out another piece from his pocket.
Lei Tianrui and the others looked at the small golden leaves in Qin Haodong's hand, their eyes flashed with infinite desire, and they immediately surrounded them.
"Doctor Qin, do you still have this yellow spring leaf, can you give me one?"
Lei Tianrui asked with a flattering face.
Seeing the dense Hell Soul Eater ants on the surface of the river, he couldn't care about what his face was.
Qin Haodong said: "Yes, yes, but why should I give it to you?"
Lei Tianrui said: "Doctor Qin, you have forgotten that we are companions, and we should always help each other when we encounter difficulties. ”
"Oh! I remember when you said that, you were charging me the fare just now. ”
Lei Tianrui couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, wanting to collect a protection fee, but he was almost not killed by the Five Poisons Mercenary Group, and in the end it was saved by others, this time he wanted to collect a fare, but in the end he didn't even have a car, and he had to put down his face and beg others for help.
Qin Haodong fiddled with the Huangquan Ye in his hand and said: "Now this is a good life-saving thing in my hand, if you want to, it's not expensive to charge you twice the fare, right?"
"Uh......"
Lei Tianrui's face turned red suddenly, he just wanted to recover the lost money quickly, so he asked Qin Haodong for a daily fare of 5 million, which was doubled to 10 million, in the past, Qin Haodong charged 1 million every time, but now it has grown ten times all of a sudden, and he is completely lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.
Qin Haodong said with a smile: "It's still the same sentence, I've always been a fool in business, and the business is voluntary, you can buy it if you want to, and if you don't want to buy it, you don't force it." ”
Lei Tianrui glanced at the black and dense Hell Soul Eaters in the river again, how could there be a choice.
He said: "Doctor Qin, I definitely want to buy it, but there is no mobile phone signal here, and I don't have so much cash, so I can't pay for the time being." ”
Qin Haodong said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have cash, you can give me an IOU." ”
Thinking of the figure of 10 million, Wang Yuancheng really felt a little painful, and he said, "Are you sure this leaf is useful?"
Qin Haodong said: "If it's useful, it can save lives, if it's useless, we'll all become ant dung, so what does it matter if you just make an IOU of 100 million?"
A few people thought about it, and it was right, if their own people died, it would be useless to leave more money, and it would be an IOU.
Xie Zidan said: "Doctor Qin, I believe in you, I want one for Huangquan Ye." ”
Qin Haodong took out a pen and paper from his backpack, handed it to Xie Zidan and said, "It's very hard for you to help me drive all the way, just give you a 50% discount and write 5 million." ”
"Thank you, Dr. Qin. Xie Zidan did not hesitate to write down an IOU of 5 million, and then took a yellow spring leaf from Qin Haodong.
Although Lei Tianrui and the others were a little hesitant, they saw that the ants were already close to the shore, so they all gritted their teeth and wrote down an IOU, and then took the Huangquan leaf from Qin Haodong.
Seeing Qin Haodong stuffing all the paper, pens and IOUs into his backpack, Lei Tianrui's heart moved, along the way, he always saw Qin Haodong taking things from the backpack, but the shape of this backpack did not change much, as if no matter how many things were loaded, it would not be deflated, could it be that this is the legendary Xuanmen treasure?
When the tense moment came, the Hell Soul Eater Ants finally completed the beach-grabbing landing, and a large area was on the small island in the center of the waterhole.
Qin Haodong and his entourage stood together, forming a circle, each holding a yellow spring leaf in their hands, and now it is up to them to see if this small leaf works.
By this time, the sun had completely set the horizon, and only a bright moon in the sky shone on the small valley. There was silence all around, and everyone could clearly hear their own breathing, heartbeat, and the rustle of ants crawling forward.
The Hell Eaters were getting closer, and they could even be seen in the moonlight with two large pincers waving over their heads.
Five, three, two...... When the Hell Eater Ants came to a distance of about a meter from them, they suddenly stopped, the two tentacles on their heads swayed wildly, and then, as if they were greatly frightened, they turned their heads and ran backwards.
Panic seems to be contagious, just now the fierce and indomitable Hell Soul Eater Ants, at this time it is like a broken army after a great defeat, no formation, no discipline, rushing towards the pool, even many ants did not have time to jump on the leaves, they fell directly into the pool, struggled a few times and then sank.
The people on the island breathed a sigh of relief, including Qin Haodong. He only learned in the cultivation realm that Huangquan Ye could restrain the Hell Soul Eater Ants, but he had never tried it, and he didn't expect the effect to be so good.
After a few minutes, the ants on the island had already escaped, and even the Hell Soul Eaters outside the waterhole began to retreat, and after ten minutes, there was no trace of any ant in the entire small valley, and if it weren't for the thick smell of blood in the air, it would be as if nothing had happened.
Everyone has a feeling of the aftermath, no wonder so many expeditions enter the death zone and have no information, this place is too evil.
It was already late at night, and for safety, they did not return to the waterhole, but camped directly on the island.
Early the next morning, the sun rose from the east, and the golden sunlight sprinkled all over the valley, Qin Haodong used the same method to send Hu Xiaoxian and the little guy to the other side first, and then threw the yellow spring leaves in his hand into the pool, and crossed the water surface with the buoyancy of the leaves.
Lei Tianrui and a few people looked at the Huangquan leaf with extremely complicated feelings, it was this little thing, and they sold it for 10 million. But they didn't dare to throw it, and who knows if they would encounter such a terrible thing in the future.
After cleaning up their moods, they all returned to the other side of the waterhole.
Looking around the valley at this time, it was still quiet and beautiful, and the beasts that had been devoured yesterday had not left a single bone residue in the end, and only a puddle of spilled oil remained in the place of the two Humvees, and only the blackened gasoline ditch was a true record of what had happened here.
Lei Tianrui said to Hu Xiaoxian and the others: "Let's discuss what to do next, whether to move forward or go back?"
Hu Xiaoxian said: "Our mission has not been completed, how can we go back?"
Dong Sihai said: "But we have no vehicles and equipment, and it will be dangerous if we continue to move forward." ”
Hu Xiaoxian said: "But we are already about to reach our destination, wouldn't it be a waste of all our efforts to go back now, besides, how do you know that there will be no danger when you go back?"
Lei Tianrui said: "Xiaoxian is right, since we have arrived here, we should continue to move forward. ”
After the goal was unified, they continued to march towards the depths of Shennongjia, Qin Haodong naturally would not go back, he held the little guy and walked at the back of the team with Hu Xiaoxian.
